    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the implementation and effectiveness of the Cash Transfer Programme to older persons in the counties in general and Ganze Constituency in particular. The implementation of the cash transfer programme is not effective as envisaged when the programme was initially conceived. Majority of the older persons in Ganze Constituency have not been receiving the money from the programme despite the vulnerability to poverty among other challenges associated with old age. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on:- (i) the criteria used to identify the beneficiaries since most of the persons aged 65 and above living in Ganze Constituency are not beneficiaries of the programme; and (ii) why the local committees that identify the beneficiaries as well as the officers who vet the identified beneficiaries of the programme are not facilitated in terms of transport and allowances by the Government."
